SSC Diamond is to expand its alliance network of diamond cutting and polishing in Asia to optimise cost-effectiveness and craftsmanship. It is SSC Diamond’s objective to become a member of the Kimberley Diamond Exchange in order to further expand our network and to achieve economies of scale in our diamond sales. China has also become the second largest market for polished diamond sales this could be a synergy which could be exploited through setting up strategic mid-stream to upstream alliances that is expected to deliver business opportunities for SSC Diamond.īrand-building for polished diamond would involve expertise from internationally-renowned designers together with sufficient investment on marketing and latest technology. While India owns the largest market share and employs approximately one million workers in diamond cutting and polishing, China has become the second diamond polishing centre employing approximately 100,000 workers and is still growing, according to the World Diamond Industry Statistics. Our strategy is supported by a highly qualified mining team representing all areas including surface and underground mine operations, processing, quality, safety control and security. SSC Diamond is to increase its rough diamond production to one million carats by 2025, through increasing output of the two operating mines and acquisition of additional quality diamond mines. The survey and exploration objective involves dedicated operations to discover new diamond resources which would further enhance the quality and mining life of the two diamond mines Exploration Diamond Drillhole programmes have been completed recently for both diamond mines. This forms a near-term business strategy for both Frank Smith and Loxton Dal Diamond Mines, alongside any suitable opportunities to acquire further quality mines. It is SSC Diamond’s strategy to own, operate and grow its own portfolio of diamond-mining assets that SSC Diamond believes will deliver the best returns through natural economic cycles and over long term. Since 2011, SSC Diamond have invested more than 100 million South African Rand into both Frank Smith and Loxton Dal Diamond Mines to complete diamond exploration programmes and infrastructural upgrade which is anticipated to increase profitability and diamond production for both mines. It is the Group's objective to maintain a sustainable increase in the volume of rough diamonds produced through further exploration of the existing two mines and acquisitions of additional quality diamond deposits. To this end we continue to build strong, lasting alliances with the polishing, wholesale, trading and technology sectors across the world to maximise the value chain of our diamond business.
